Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence is procuring construction works for a new generator shed at Akrotiri, Cyprus, supporting British Forces. The work involves removing and storing the existing standby generator and fuel tank, removing the old container, constructing the replacement shed and reinstalling the equipment. The contractor must provide temporary emergency power during the works, overhaul generator fuel pumps and controls, install a client-furnished 5,000-litre fuel tank with associated pipework, valves and accessories, and complete electrical installations. The scope also includes cables for the automatic changeover switch, small power and lighting, together with new intake and discharge louvres, sound attenuators and motorised dampers.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a limited competitive quotation procedure below the threshold. Suppliers must complete the pre-qualification questionnaire and expression-of-interest form electronically. The expression-of-interest return deadline is 11 September 2026 at 12:00 EET; the tender return deadline is 30 October 2026. The stated contract value is £300,000, in GBP. The planned contract period runs from 19 February 2027 to 23 July 2027, with work commencement stated as 5 March 2027 and completion as 23 July 2027. Contract award is planned for 19 February 2027. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants.

This opportunity suits construction and building-services contractors able to deliver a complete generator-facility refurbishment and new-build package in a secure overseas defence setting. Relevant capability includes temporary power provision, generator removal and reinstatement, fuel-system engineering, installation of large fuel tanks and associated pipework, electrical installation, automatic changeover systems, lighting and small power. Mechanical ventilation and acoustic works are also required, including louvres, sound attenuators and motorised dampers. Strong candidates will be able to coordinate civil, mechanical, electrical and specialist generator work, manage equipment storage and disposal, maintain emergency power continuity, and demonstrate sufficient project management and site-delivery capacity for a multi-discipline works package.
